Pigeons have surpassed mammals in brain efficiency.

A gram of pigeon brain consumes, on average, 2.5 times less glucose than the brain of mammals of comparable size, and 3.5 times less per neuron, the German scientists found. The reason for such a high energy efficiency of avian neurons has not yet been precisely determined, but, most likely, the matter is in the histological features of the nervous tissue and the temperature of the brain.

Men's brains shrink when they become fathers, scientists have found.

The study involved forty volunteers from two countries who were preparing to become fathers for the first time. They underwent MRI examinations before their partner's pregnancy, during it, and also several months after the birth of the child. The results showed that in fathers, unlike mothers, the structure of the limbic system of the brain, which is responsible for motivation and internal reward, does not change with the birth of a child. But the restructuring occurs in the cerebral cortex, affecting the visual cortex and areas associated with the network of the passive mode of the brain. Perhaps the changes in the brain are designed to help fathers more easily recognize their child and be more willing to respond to him, the authors of the study say.

How do zodiac signs drive? Sagittarius.

Sagittarius people just love to go somewhere far away. An empty track, speed, fresh wind and cheerful music from the speakers - on trips over long distances, a special romance lies for them. They overcome long distances without problems, but they don’t like to travel within the city because of traffic jams that slow down the process.

Rating of the best women. 11th place - Pisces.

Marrying a Pisces is the same as getting a cat: a very beautiful creature will live in the house, which will look at you all your life as a regrettably fragrant result of a long digestion process. At the same time, Pisces cost much more than cats, but they bring the same benefits: sometimes, if Pisces deigns to be in a good mood, you can take it in your arms and squeeze it a little. Maybe she'll even purr. And they get addicted to this purring like hard drugs: from the first time and forever. Because even if you get off the needle, life will still remain empty and meaningless. It's great, right?

The 5 most selfish zodiac signs. Cancer.

For Cancers, it is not the sun that shines, but the moon. But the meaning is the same - water creatures deserve the best. Who said so? Well, that's what the Cancers said. Wards of the Moon are unlikely to quit their business to help someone. Let's do the opposite: let people rush to the aid of poor Cancers (after all, they suffer so much, suffer so much).

Mistakes in relationships that earth signs allow. Taurus.

Taurus can seem romantic and airy at the beginning of a relationship, but the more stable they become, the more possessive feelings appear in Taurus. They do not want to share a loved one with anyone, and friends and girlfriends cause jealousy. The more Taurus strangles with control, the faster it destroys relationships and feelings. Another problem is the manifestation of the painful pride of Taurus: it seems to him that the other half underestimates him. It is important for this sign of the zodiac to listen to the words about their need and exclusivity, otherwise undermined self-esteem leads to a splash of negative emotions on the unfortunate spouse. Taurus will try to assert itself by offending loved ones, which will finally destroy the union.

He doesn't want me, why?

1. Partners have a different sexual constitution, and as a result, sexual appetites are also different. It would be nice to sit down and discuss this, find a compromise. 2. Stress and anxiety states. The husband may want to, but he remembers this last, when there is no strength for anything. 3. Resentment is another reason for the loss of sexual desire. What do they do with resentment? That's right: they are aware and work through them. 4. In a couple, apart from sex, there are no other ways to confirm that the partner is sexy and attractive. And in my head there is only one thought: “If he doesn’t want me now, then something is wrong with me.” In this case, the spouses need to analyze their relationship and look for new ways to admire each other.

Agree to everything, so long as you don't leave.

Any conformism is violence against oneself. Being silent and agreeing that you feel bad does not mean making the situation good. It won't turn "bad" into "good". And even more so marriage. And if the relationship is bad, they will fall apart anyway. For family life to be good, both should try. Do not spare your men, talk to them about what you don’t like, or leave immediately when it’s useless to talk.

Compatibility criteria.

1. Physical (sexual). When partners cannot find common ground in sex. But everything is fine on a spiritual level. This happens if a man and a woman have a different sexual constitution. 2. Emotional. The emotional component helps to smooth out sharp corners, find a compromise, feel a partner. Close people are not shy about frank conversations, they are ready to empathize. 3. Intelligent. If partners are bored with each other, such an alliance is unlikely to succeed. Practice shows that men and women are looking for a partner who is equal in terms of education and interests. 4. Financial. Attitude towards money plays an important role in building a strong union. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the nuances of maintaining a family budget on the “shore”.

How to survive a breakup.

1. Let go of yourself. If you want to shed tears, then cry, you can even scream, sing, dance, lie in bed for hours. 2. Allow yourself to feel the feelings. Answer yourself honestly: what qualities in a partner did you love and whether he actually possessed them. It is also important to understand what you wanted from the relationship and what you got in the end. 3. Don't blame yourself for the breakup. Two people are always to blame for the breakup of relations, because contact was gradually lost between you. 4. Keep your distance. Immediately after parting, it is necessary to keep a distance from each other. 5. Do not look for a replacement for the former. Flirting or casual sex can help, but not for long, because now you are very vulnerable and suddenly you will begin to pin hopes on casual relationships. 6. Start planning for the future. Everything that makes you happy should be on the list. It is important to regularly replenish the list, and when sadness and depression pile up, be sure to re-read it.

Indifference to other people's opinion.

"It doesn't matter" doesn't mean you have to act like a boor who spits on everyone and everything. DON'T confuse "don't care" with disrespect, stupidity and marginality!"Don't care" doesn't mean that only your opinion matters. It means being in tune with yourself, acting according to your principles, even if everyone around you claims you do wrong."Don't care" is the power of the spirit that makes you feel good about yourself without degrading those around you.

How to develop yourself 24/7 with a minimum of effort?

Every day: • 10 new foreign language words • 30 minutes of reading • Go to bed before 11:00 p.m. 3. Every week: • Go to 3 workouts • Watch 1 movie • Listen to 1 podcast • Visit a new place • Do a recap of the week • Check in with your goals

Worried about making the right decision?

Imagine you've chosen the second option. Similarly, describe how your life might turn out in this case.

How do zodiac signs drive? Scorpio.

Scorpions have excellent driving skills. They learn very quickly and are able to respond to unforeseen situations that inevitably arise on the track. They pay special attention to the appearance and status of the car, believing that this is not just a way of transportation, but also an additional opportunity to make the desired impression.

Rating of the best women. 12th place - Scorpio.

An incredibly attractive, enchantingly smart and breathtakingly beautiful Scorpio young lady is the worst wife in the world. Because marrying a Scorpio means selling yourself into slavery. Of course, serving such a beautiful lady is even honorable in some ways, but there is one problem: while you get used to her complex character and learn to dodge sudden slaps in the face, you will have time to earn a bald head, erectile dysfunction and old age pension. And this is where she will change you for a sultry thirty-year-old macho with such a mustache.
